INTRODUCTION TO YOUR CLUB 2024-2025 season

Message from your Committee

The Greystanes Little Athletics Centre extends a very warm welcome to you and your family as you share with us the fun and excitement of participation in Little Athletics (LA).

We are looking forward to the 2024-2025 season with great anticipation.

Little Athletics is managed by parents and family members of our athletes on a voluntary basis, and with many events conducted each week a great deal of assistance is needed to ensure the smooth running of the programme.

We need your assistance with each event and to help supervise our athletes. Each age group will require an Age Manager, but parental help is still needed to time races and measure distances. If you are new to athletics and have never timed before, don't be afraid to offer to help, someone will show you how easy it is. The programme cannot be conducted smoothly without your help at all events.  

It is essential that at least one parent or friend (or a responsible adult with appropriate authority) is present from each family at all times. Despite precautions taken accidents may happen and any delay in attending injuries could be detrimental to the child. Please remember Little Athletics is a family activity and not a child-minding service!

In the event we find a child does not have a parent/friend (responsible adult) in attendance and/or helping with events the child’s results may NOT BE RECORDED.

First aid facilities are always on hand at the canteen on competition days.

We would like to wish all our athletes well in their future endeavours and remember it does not matter if your child comes first, second, sixth or eighth in any event, it is the personal improvement and development throughout the season that matters. To highlight this, we remind all parents, on the presentation night every registered Little Athletics child receives a trophy for participating in Saturday morning competitions irrespective of their results throughout the season.

We also recommend the NSW Little Athletics website www.laansw.com.au for any other information about Little Athletics you may wish to obtain such as Championships results and upcoming events.
